If you’re in San Francisco and attending Macworld Conference & Expo 2009, come by and see us. We are exhibiting at the Mac Developer Pavilion, booth 1438. We are actually right next to Apple’s booth, which until tomorrow morning when the show opens, is totally shrouded in black. Something tells me that Apple might have something to announce tomorrow…that’s just a guess though. 

In any case, we are super excited to be exhibiting with other Mac developers at the Developer Pavilion. More than anything though, we are really looking forward to meeting those of you who have discovered the power of i.TV and are using the app on a regular basis to get media…your way. 

Please come and see us and tell us in person what you like about the app and what you would like to see done differently. We also want to know your suggestions for what we should do in the future. We can’t wait to meet you!

If you can’t make it, I’ll try and cover the event from every angle on Twitter. In fact, if you come and visit us and want to be a “featured guest” on our Twitter feed, let me know and we’ll post a pic of you at our booth on Twitter…it’s the ultimate prize, right? 

See you at Macworld Expo!

Good news! i.TV was listed as one of the top apps in the iTunes App Store for 2008. In particular, we were listed as the #3 free entertainment application. Pretty good, considering that we only launched in October of this year. 

Here is a link to the page on iTunes where you can see all the applications listed.

In case you didn’t know it already, i.TV made it to NUMBER ONE in the App Store last night! Thanks to all of you who have downloaded the app and have given us such great reviews. 

Here is what some in the press and blogosphere are saying about i.TV (in order of appearance):

There are a lot of App Store submissions and works-in-progress that trigger anticipatory drooling here at TUAW…, among them the program guide and movie finder i.TV…Now you can download this free tool from the App Store and see for yourself what’s so exciting.

Yes, i.TV is a piece of software. But if i.TV was human, you’d want to invite it to a candlelit dinner, look into its eyes and say “you are so sexy.”

Your weekend needs a well-structured plan for backlit entertainments. And thankfully the value quotient is very high with…i.TV.

Everyone!

I am VERY pleased to announce the launch of i.TV in the iTunes App Store. i.TV is a TV and movie guide application for the iPhone and iPod touch. With i.TV you can find comprehensive info on the latest TV shows and new movies. The best part is…the application is absolutely FREE. 

An excerpt from our press release details many of i.TV’s key features: 

i.TV presents users with relevant and up-to-date TV and movie listings based on their current location and other customizable profile settings. The service provides rich background information for most programs, including celebrity photos, biographies, show synopses, ratings, and reviews. i.TV also gives users advanced sort options that make it easy to organize television listings according to categories such as channel, show, and genre. Additionally, customers can use built-in filtering capabilities to exclude information from their listings, such as adult content.

i.TV includes a number of community-focused features that enable users to discover programming and socialize around entertainment. Customers can also use i.TV to recommend shows through an email alert to friends. The application allows users to give shows star ratings, write their own reviews, and respond to reviews written by other members of the i.TV community. 

i.TV also has the capability to deliver entertainment directly to the end user. Using the iPhone or iPod touch, i.TV’s customers have access to a large selection of movie trailers and television previews that can be streamed directly to their device.  

We are extremely excited to share this app with you. If you would like to see some screen shots, you can check them out here. Better yet, just download it from the iTunes App Store. It’s finally available!
